How to get loadouts in Call of Duty: Warzone 2
Wondering where to grab the best loadouts for battle in Call of Duty Warzone 2.0? We've got you covered.
If you're hoping to get anywhere in Warzone 2, you're going to need to get decked out with the best loadouts available. And if you engaged in the pandemonium of the first Warzone back in 2019, you're already well aware of this.
However, obtaining said loadouts are a little different this time. You can't just rock up to any Buy Station and buy a loadout like you could in the last instalment.
So keep reading to find out how to get set up for battle in Warzone 2.0.
How to get loadouts in Warzone 2
Buy Stations (now called Shops in Warzone 2) are no longer the places to go for full loadouts. This time, you can only buy your primary weapons there.
Now, you can only find full loadouts in certain boxes called Loadout Drops. And it's exactly as it sounds - they're dropped in certain places right in the middle of matches.
In some instances, the Loadout drops occur in the middle of the map. Of course this will be messy, as everyone playing will be notified, and, well, not everyone will get the loadout drop. Only one player will.

If you don't fancy taking part in the above scramble/bloodbath, there are other options. Loadout Drops are also available in AI-controlled territories named Strongholds. The only catch is that the player will need to wipe the Stronghold clean, and disarm a bomb in the centre in order to grab the Loadout Drop.
Don't forget that you'll be competing with other squads for the goodies at the end of a Stronghold, too. So while it's not as simple as the Buy Station system of the original Warzone, it's still possible to get great loadouts. You just have to persevere. Good luck!
